Kakegurui: Compulsive Gambling and the Spirit of "Risking It All"
Join us on the ZONE Podcast as we kickstart the Academy ZONE season with an electrifying review of "Kakegurui." J.B., Tinara and Mira Jane will take you through the mesmerizing world of Hyakkaou Academy, where status, pride, and life are on the line, and where Yumeko love for the thrill of gambling keeps everyone on edge. We dissect the intense facial expressions and unpredictable plots that make this series a binge-worthy spectacle.
We unravel the complexities of the Momobami clan and shed light on the lesser-known branches, including the intriguing Jabami family. Our discussion takes a deep dive into "Kakegurui Twin," focusing on Mary Saotome and her mission to challenge the school's oppressive systems. By debunking the necessity of romantic subplots, we emphasize that the sheer intensity of the gambling scenes is enough to keep viewers hooked. Through comparisons with other chaos-filled series like "Danganronpa" and "Kill la Kill," we make a compelling case for why fans need to rally for more seasons on Netflix.
As the episode progresses, we shift gears to discuss personal stories about dating, rejection, and navigating toxic relationships, all peppered with humorous anecdotes and pop culture references. From memorable scenes in "Everybody Hates Chris" to the obsessive love in "Future Diary," we blend laughter with thoughtful reflections. Wrapping up with favorite moments from retro TV shows and their comforting influence, we promise great content ahead for our listeners. Stay tuned, stay nerdy, and join us for a rollercoaster of emotions and insights!

Welcome back to the Zone Podcast, where we talk about how Gaming Edition can be destructive on your life. I'm Jet Black Extreme and joining me today is Tanara, as we do a review on Kakiguri. Without further ado, let's go ahead and get active Now with Kakiguri. Here's the thing. I'm kind of glad that I'm starting off the Academy Zone season with Kakiguri and, for explanation, academy Zone for me is where we talk about things that centers around the school, like, say, a movie or a TV show where the school is the main setting, or maybe some book reviews.
Speaker 1:But, um, in this case, kakigori is an anime well, anime, manga where there's this academy called a hayako academy and it's this prestigious, ritzy school where rich people's kids go to get an education. And honestly, these kids, they're pretty much silver spoon babies, so they're like set for life. But here's the thing After their academics, by the way, you barely see them actually studying like actual academics. But after school, that's where it gets interesting, that's where it gets kind of weird, that's when it gets kind of dark. Actually, you got a whole school of children gambling and it's not as simple as gambling money. It's gambling status, gambling, your pride. Some people gamble away their bodies and some people gamble away their whole lives. We'll talk about that certain character later.
Speaker 1:But then there's our main character, yumiko Jabani. Oh my god, this character, yumiko Jabani, oh my god, this woman, yumiko Jabani, she is the epitome of risk, it all. Unlike people, all of the other characters where everybody wants something, yumiko is the one person that wants nothing. But in reality it's more like she just loves gambling, like she just loves the thrill of it. She doesn't care if she wins, she doesn't care if she loses, she doesn't care if she ties, she just wants to play the game. And that's what makes her dangerous, that's what makes her a snake in the garden, as Kirari would say. That's what makes her dangerous, that's what makes her a snake in the garden, as Kirari would say. That's what makes her a devil. And she's one of those characters that you can't really mentally control. Her Hell, you can't even hear what she's saying, because a lot of the characters will have this inner dialogue that you will hear, with those very, very strong facial expressions, very, very strong facial expressions.
Speaker 1:Like that's why I give studio mappa credit boards where the way they drew these characters faces and the way it's animated like it's better experienced anime with the manga. In my personal opinion, like pick up the manga if you want to continue um, where they left off in season two. But as far as the anime, like the anime is just worth the experience, like the way their eyes get all bright and shit, sometimes Like holy fucking shit. And also I'm hearing that this show is kind of like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in respect to where it's kind of how can I call this Rainbow-coated, but overall I do like the stakes involved, like oh, it's not like gambling as in, like the usual, like poker and uh, whatnot. They actually play a whole bunch of different games where it's like it gets fucking nuts and my overall impression, yeah, pretty much like I said, I would highly recommend it to anybody who's looking for something obscure and well animated and very intense, like where the stakes feel like it can go either way, like keep in mind, this is a protagonist that don't mind losing.
Speaker 1:She doesn't even mind dying. It's like she just wants to play and that's what makes this show very interesting to where, yeah, main character is going to have like a little plot armor, but then again, like it's not predictable. I guess you could say this show is as unpredictable as the characters that we're going to talk about, but enough about me ranting on and on. Tanara, tell me, what is it about Kakiguri that you love?
Speaker 3:It's just so weird. Um, like I it's. I don't even know why, exactly what drew me to it in the first place, but, like I told you, you know I it's become my go-to to even just listen to while doing just other stuff and whatnot. Like it's just, it's just fun and it's there's, you know, that intenseness and whatnot. Um, and as you were saying, you know how she doesn't even she doesn't care if she wins or loses or whatever, and she does have plot armor, but at the same time, you know there she still, she ends up getting that life plan made up for because she doesn't. She, you know, gets too far in debt with the student council and stuff. So it's like you know she has plot armor but at the same time, you know this stuff is still happening.
Speaker 1:She becomes, she becomes admittance, like pretty quickly off and um, it's just, yeah, I don't like it's just, it's just, it's just, it's a weird one, but it's fun, it's fun right like say, for instance okay, I'm gonna spit out some random moments, but one moment that I did like was the it was in the second season, whereas, uh, I think it was that one game of I think it was. Actually they were playing um poker or some sort of card game, where Ryota, the only male character well, I guess you could say main male lead character, even though he's more like a side character and all this he was the dealer in all that and oh yeah, with with the beautification division.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that crazy lady.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that one when they had to match the designs and stuff, that one.
Speaker 1:Right where they pretty much had to break even in order to win the game. And I like how the uh ryota was gonna pick a car. But then he realized, wait, this isn't what yumiko wanted, so I'm gonna pick this car way over here. And then suddenly this girl just teleported behind this dude.
Speaker 3:It was like good boy yeah, no, okay, I know you're talking about the one with the uh student council president, with kirari yeah where it was like whoever lost had to leave the school. But since they tied, neither of them had to lose or had to leave. That was okay. Yeah, that one. I thought you're talking about the um and then I realized that's from the first season, so that wouldn't have been the one, but I thought I thought you're talking about the one with what's her name the really horny, crazy one.
Speaker 1:Oh no, that was in like the second season. I want to say it was in the mid section of second season.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but yeah, no the life or death, no, that was the.
Speaker 1:It was the one with the wheel of fortune, with the tarot cards. Yeah, the tarot cards.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the tarot cards, tarot cards of destiny, that's what they called it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I like that one, but yeah, yeah, that was a good one. And the two were like, because there was the mark on the one card, and so the other two girls were like, oh my God, that's got to know. The only one that the president touched was the one that we need to draw, so that's gotta be the one. And he noticed it and he was like you know, like you said, that's not what Yumiko would want. So he went, you know, he went with a random card and ended up working out just fine. And then the other two girls tried to see what the card was and I really wish I wasn't so bad with names, but the one, um, that always has a sucker and like the hoodie, that has like the bunny ears and stuff I know you're talking about, but yeah, like uh, she scoops up before the girls can see she scoops up the cards before the two girls can find out.
Speaker 3:If that was the one that would have won then the game instead of tying it, and she's like, nope, that wouldn't be any fun if you found that out actually, you know what you just reminded me.
Speaker 1:let's talk about the names, like the, the momobami clan, like, apparently a bunch of these students like you had, Like you have Tarana Yumi, Toto Bami, Sumika Warakubami, Mio Ibami, Miroslava Honobami, all these different Bami's, and Kirari is like the top dog, because she's like from the main branch of the Momo Bami, because she's like from the main branch of the momo bami, so jabami uh yumiko.
Speaker 1:She's like from this branch that nobody uh ever heard of. Like it was like, oh shit, I didn't know y'all were even related to us, but yeah, yeah it's like you know it's got bami in it, but they didn't realize.
Speaker 3:It's like oh, that I guess we're technically related there. Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, because it's like, oh, that I guess we're technically related there. Yeah that was crazy yeah, because it's like, because we knew, you know, you know we knew kirari's last name, it was the whatever bami, and then we knew yumiko's was jabami, it's like. But you know names, just because they have part in common doesn't mean they're related or anything. But in this case, yes, it did yeah it's like, it's like, oh shit, okay.
Speaker 1:Like, but um. Different branches of the family and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there was also something else that I want to talk about and it was more. I want to say it was like More pronounced in the side story, uh, kakigori twin, to where this one was like a prequel and the perspective of mary satome and things. At first I was like why are we getting the side story of the girl who's just gonna play, play second fiddle to Yumiko in the series, like why are we getting this? But the one thing I did like was some of the games, like how there was this one game that this chubby guy was wanting to get a date with one of these girls and here's the thing was wanting to get a date with one of these girls and, uh, here's the thing. Some of the options were either you just go out on a date with them or there's the sleepover option. Quote unquote hint, hint, nudge, nudge and then, um, oh, I'm sorry, I'll just make this real quick I like how in this, those little um bits, I did like those.
Speaker 1:But the one guy, uh, the one male character, not the uh somebody got that was talking about uh, I forgot his name, but he had, he had the red hair and essentially he was the one that wants to abolish the whole slavery system in the school, because I was like that was like the weirdest Part of all to it. Well, there was some symbolism to it If you're so far in debt that Bottom 100 are Considered pets and they have to like Walk around with callers and just pretty much do whatever Bidding of whoever they're in debt with. And I was like bro, wow, okay, and um, also how, uh, another a complaint. I would say, not against the show, but how some people are like oh, it must be rainbow coated because not like any of the girls want to hook up with any of the guys.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, is that even necessary? Do we really need to have that? Is that necessary to the plot? Like, oh, you got to hook up with somebody. Oh, some of these characters got hooked up with someone from the opposite sex. Like can't it just be about gambling? Goddammit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, I mean, yeah, some of them are, you know, super horny because, like you know, horny gambling is pretty much. But, um, but it's like that, doesn't I mean there, don't you don't have, doesn't have to be, you know, hooking up and stuff to be good, like I don't understand. I never understood why. Oh you know, if there's no relationships, what's the point? It's like, um, what?
Speaker 1:uh, I'm sorry, bro, but I don't. I guess you could say we're so used to the will they won't they trope and damn near everything, to where it just kind of implied that, oh, if they're even talking to, that's another thing.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, tanara, but no, it's all good one of those things that grinds my gears how, nowadays, I'm hearing this narrative that men and women aren't supposed to be friends and I'm like, whoa, whoa, hold the hell on. When was this? When the hell was this? Like I'm sorry, like I grew up way different to a point to where I'm cool with having female friends, like how I'm friends with you, tanara, how I'm friends but leah and a bunch of the girls in the inner circle, a bunch of girls that's outside the inner circle, whatnot?
Speaker 1:I'm cool with having female friends. So I just don't like the idea of how, oh, men and women can't be friends, so that it makes it more obvious.
Speaker 3:I agree with that. I definitely agree with that. I don't understand what I mean because you know that and the whole thing with I mean obviously leads to that. But, like you know, you're supposed to marry your best friend sort of thing, like you're supposed to be friends yeah, I kind of like that to be able to. So it's like I don't understand why that whole men and women can't be friends thing. So I I totally agree with you there it's the implication.
Speaker 1:I don't like the implication of it to where it just seems like, oh, if we're not co-workers. Where it's like, seem like okay, we're just kind of obligated to be within the vicinity of each other if we're not co-workers or if we're not fucking, what are we doing here? Like I don't like that implication. Like, yeah, like a man has to. If a man talks to you, it's almost like the woman has to assume that the man wants to bone, because apparently men and women aren't supposed to be friends. That's the implication of him talking to you. I don't like that.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't either. It's just, it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry, ladies and gentlemen, side tangent, but that's just one of those things. Why are y'all like this? But honestly, I would say it's not a deep plot, like it doesn't necessarily Need a play by play, but but it's more like you need to see for yourself how bad shit it gets. Like. Okay, let's talk about this one character, uh, midori, the one with the ipad. To where she has this obsession with dying and whenever she gets involved with the beautification club and all that shit, it gets kind of nuts. To where I'm like, see, between her and Yumiko. That's the one when they're together. That's where I'm like, okay, okay, I can kind of see what they're talking about. Where it's like possible scissoring half going to happen. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I don't know, Yumiko's pretty pissed at her so.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, but you know how some people gonna be, where it's like oh well, that's how it starts, where they kinda hate each other at first, but then they're like oh well, you know, just fuck already, and then they're gonna get over it. But see, once again just fuck already, and then they're gonna get over it. But see, once again, y'all weird.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's like I mean some of the games that Midoriya comes up with. It's like what are not.
Speaker 1:Midoriya oh shit, uh, apparently Deku is gambling in this school. He, he, he transferred out of UA and I was like, hey man, I'm just going to risk it all at this one academy.
Speaker 3:At this gambling Hold on.
Speaker 1:I'm like damn. You saved the world and now you're in debt.
Speaker 3:See, I told you I'm shit at names. What was your name again? Midori? Okay, so I added a. Ya, my bad, but yeah, I know Some of the games she comes up with.
Speaker 1:It's like, girl, you just want to die here, Like you just straight up want to die and I'm like she doesn't want to do like see, unlike what we see in the Tower of Doors. And, by the way, that one. That was a fun one, yeah unlike that one where Sayaka was like, hey, so if I can't be with kirari, then what's the point of me live? Unlike that's where nah midori wants to earn her death. Where I'm like you gotta be, it's like the ultimate get off to.
Speaker 3:Where I gotta be, uh, killed in a gambling game yeah, she like, she likes that that risk thing going on there, like she's like you know, with the restaurant, like she's like I might die and if I do, cool, if I don't, fine it kind of gives me danganronpa vibes like you ever heard that on game anime before I've heard of it, but I had.
Speaker 1:I don't know it oh my god, let me tell you, danganronpa is good in my opinion, but it's like kingdom hearts, where it's like, oh my god, you're gonna have to like watch the anime in a certain order and play the video games in a certain order in order to piece together the events chronologically. But if you do it by release order, then it's like, okay, it's more of a mystery. But I'm like, hold on. Oh, by the way, there's even further in the prequel, but the prequel is limited to a light novel. You have to read a light novel just to get the rest. Seriously, yeah, I'm like bro, really.
Speaker 1:Like all these hurdles, just to get the full story.
Speaker 3:Hey, I mean, I guess, if you're you know, if you really want to be a super fan, you gotta do what you gotta do yeah, but you know I thank god for YouTubers.
Speaker 1:Man, like, if you like, I would say watch the anime. You don't necessarily have to play the video games, because most of them don't really have to do with the anime, but slightly. But I would say, watch the anime and then after that watch the rest of the, then after that watch the rest of the lore on YouTube. You're good, because I'm not going to have you go through all those links just to get the whole story. But that's what I'm saying. Midori just reminds me of characters from Danganronpa, because that was like a murder mystery, by the way. So it's not exactly like it. But in a way, to where this one character, junko Inoshima she's like the big one in Danganronpa, by the way, junko is like an agent of chaos and where it's like she doesn't care if she lives or dies and just she just want to risk it all and bring people down to despair. It's like check it out, just check it out, just check it out. Back to Kakiguri.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I would say Kakiguri is one of those weird ones where you watch all these gambling games, you see the facial reaction on their faces. Where all these different games, you see the facial reaction on their faces where, like all these different colors and shit, and you're just kind of wondering, bro, how come there's not more seasons of this? But I guess it's not getting a whole lot of notoriety even though it's on Netflix. So, ladies and gentlemen, listen to this. Check it out on Netflix, season 1 and 2. And they're Netflix originals. You know how they try to market it to where they came out, somewhere in Japan first, but Netflix was the main streaming service to get the rights to the anime. So check it out on Netflix, season 1, season 2, and Kakeguri twin should be on there too I haven't actually watched that one, so I keep meaning to.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure it's on there, though, on netflix.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but um, pretty much, like I said um a few minutes ago, to where essentially it's a prequel slash, spin-off in the perspective of the blonde girl with ponytails, mary, yeah, yeah, I, yeah, I would say, watch it just for just to check it out, but I don't know if it would add a whole lot to the story. I just felt like it was something that they were just Side tangent. But here's the thing the manga for the mainline Is still going and they have like two more Spinoff stories. So, yeah, like, where the hell Is the rest of the anime Studio Mappa? Like, what's going on? You so busy with all those other anime, like I know you were doing your thing with Attack on Titan and other things. You're working on One Punch man, season 3. I hope so. What's going on? Like it seems like some shows need more love and some shows just get way too much attention.
Speaker 3:I don't know, yeah, I'm. They definitely need to get season three out because it's like the where, like they, they stopped in the middle of the freaking um election thing. It's like you can't do that yeah no, that's illegal. That's illegal.
Speaker 1:Come on now oh, you know what that reminds me? Kakiguri reminds me of um kill, or kill in the sense to where? Okay, this new girl is going up against the student council president and essentially, uh, in this case with uh kakiguri, uh kirari was like in season two. She was like you know what, who wants this job?
Speaker 3:and I'm like yep, exactly, she's like. You know, I'm done. You know, let's let someone else take the reins. And then that, that double thing of you know taking over the family, like oh my see, that's the thing, like just like yumiko.
Speaker 1:See, that's why. Uh, the whole thing with sayaka, to where I'm like oh, you like that yumiko chick so much, why don't you marry her and you're?
Speaker 3:like well, maybe I will.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, I'm like she's so interesting I'm like I can't read her mind, like she's just so random and unpredictable I'm like I'm kind of gay for it.
Speaker 3:Yup, it's like yeah, no, that's yeah. So it's like yeah, but yeah, no, that Tower of Doors one, though that was a good one, that was a real good one.
Speaker 1:Like how see Sayaka? I like how Sayaka was like so logical she was thinking like, oh well, this will only make sense for her to do it like this. But yumiko was doing it all right by doing the um shit that no one would suspect. I was like that's a useless path. Like where's that going?
Speaker 3:like let me cook, and it worked out for her. She won.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, but the implication that both Yumiko and Kirari knew what Saika was going to do. And then Kirari was like, don't worry, she picked the right door, so when she does jump off, it's going to be a crash pad underneath, so you're not going to really die. I knew you were gonna do that. See, look, look here. Like we can't, we're gonna start. We start our relationship like we're gonna start over again as strangers, but our relationship will be more pure this way, like because, see, now that I'm figuring you out, you're kind of boring me, but since you go to those links for me, then you kind of interest me again so it's like jesus christ, you already got a psychological chokehold on these people like oh, um, let's talk about uh and kakigori, uh twin.
Speaker 1:To where uh, there was uh, this governor lady and she had, like, this redhead girl who was like her house pet, and it's pretty much the same relationship. To where uh. Whenever the new girl is uh, getting attention from the top dog, the house pet next to her is like who the fuck you think you are bitch, I'm her favorite yeah, nope it's so crazy.
Speaker 1:I'm like I'm under. It feels like I'm underselling this show. That's why I'm saying, like I'm trying to encourage the ladies and gentlemen listening to this episode go watch kakigori on netflix. Let's rally together and get more seasons out on this platform, because I want to see more of this shit animated like. I feel like the crazier shit is in the later uh arcs and for some reason, we're dropping the ball on getting these episodes out.
Speaker 3:I just feel like if we had more attention drawn to it, yeah like it's like you're saying there's so much more crazy stuff coming in the other ones. It's like there's already so much crazy shit going on in you know, the first season and the second season. Like it's like how much crazier is it gonna get here? Because I haven't read the manga, so I don't know. So I'm like, I'm like how much more crazy is it gonna get? Because, holy shit, it's already so crazy. I mean, you got um itsuki and her nail obsession.
Speaker 1:Um oh, my god with her oh shit, yeah, oh gosh, that that.
Speaker 3:That gives me a visceral reaction. Every time it comes to that part I'm like oh god, because just the image is just her biting them and just yanking and just her whole nails, oh yeah I mean uh, you have things like the uh episode with the idol and the finger guillotine episode. I'm like bro that finger guillotine one was another good one that that girl majorly underestimated or over whatever, um the midori and um, um, um fuck.
Speaker 1:I know Hard to keep up with these names.
Speaker 3:Well, it's, it's, uh, yumiko. With Yumiko and Midori, she like totally underestimated how batshit crazy those two are and what they will do for the gamble.
Speaker 1:The look on their faces. When she was looking at them I was like these are some fucking devil women.
Speaker 3:And the way Yumiko made her think that they had removed the plate or something. So she starts getting in her own head going like are they really not going to move their fingers? They think they're going to lose them. What's going on here? And she's like you messed with the wrong chicks.
Speaker 1:Here's the funny thing. You know that one trope to where, okay, uh, men and women get together for strip poker and the men thinking like, oh, this gonna be fucking easy, we're gonna get these women on down naked and shit. Next thing you know it's the women that was fucking killing it.
Speaker 3:And then take that but and the guys are stuck there and they're boxers and stuff like nah you, you thought nah, take that and intensify it by a thousand and you get yeah, it's, it's definite. It's just so good. I love that show hell yeah.
Speaker 1:But oh, you know what? We are running out of time because we have things to do. But what can I say, kakaguri, I won't do the great system, I won't do the one, I'll do the star system.
Speaker 1:Going back to my roots, I give it five out of five stars, like oh yeah I don't have a single problem with this anime because it just feels like I'm being like, just like how these characters they're playing 4D chess. I feel like I'm part of the game too. I'm like what the fuck is going on here and I love it.
Speaker 1:I fucking love it. But with that being said, let's go ahead and close this out. Tanara, I do thank you for being on with me for this episode and I thank the ladies and gentlemen for tuning in. We got a whole bunch of more episodes going to be coming out. I'm going to be school themed. We're going to be talking about prison school. Uh, baka and tess, some personal favorites of mine. Uh, medaka, box mashall. Uh, reign of the seven, spell blades, trinity seven. Oh my god, so many anime that I want to review, but in due time. Nerds in due time. But until then, you stay nerdy and remember that great things are coming we are zoning out of here and you have yourself a good morning, good afternoon and good evening. Take it easy.
Speaker 1:Baby, if you give it to me, I'll give it to you. I know what you want. Know I got it. Baby, if you give it to me, I give it to you as long as you want. You know I got it. So we are doing an extension on the kakagurui review, and this time I'm being joined by mira jane, so we're gonna get her point of view on the series, so let's just go uh. So, mj, what is it about this series that you like?
Speaker 2:We're not going to. We're not, first of all, we're not going to skip past the fact that you have been tormenting me with your beautiful singing voice and you know that I cannot sing my life Absolute torment. But and I honestly why aren't we singing Poker Face? Because that's what this show is about. This show is about absolute insanity and gambling, and this show made me feel things that I wasn't ready to feel. Yet it changed my perception. I'm not usually the person who has like a waifu, you know, I'm not like closest thing is like Ursa, but it's not that level, but this one.
Speaker 1:Yumiko Jibani yeah, I was gonna talk to you about her because here's the thing um, some folks are saying that Kakegurui is one of those LGBT plus uh shows where it just seems like it seems like the girls are more into the girls than they are to the boys. But there's like this one straight ship and the entire show to where I'm like okay, so it's not completely like that. But then again, like I was saying with tanara, I like why can't it just be about gambling? You know, why does it got to be this four shippings where, oh, the main girl got to hook up with the main boy, or you know, blah, blah, blah and like can we just?
Speaker 2:You know, people got to have their shifts, but to me the relationships are also the gambles that. That was kind of how I view the shippings in this, like I hear what everyone's saying, but yumiko pushed everyone's boundaries, everyone's women and making them mumingle with even their feelings because, uh, even with the oh, what was what shipping? Was that? What was her god darn name? Um, uh, uh, sumeragi, right right right we know how she was feeling about?
Speaker 2:oh do uh mayuta, is that it know how she was feeling about oh do uh mayuda, is that it? Yeah, you get it. And yumi ko is just sitting there, like if you know how you feel, why aren't you willing to risk it all making a bet? And so I think, I think, yeah, I get what you're saying, because I kind of agree, like why did it have to be about that? But there was also an element of gambling with your feelings, like take that, say how you feel, even if you get rejected, you know. And then on top of that, they're gambling stakes.
Speaker 1:You know what. I'm so glad you said that because that reminds me how I was thinking to myself earlier today. I'm so glad you said that because that reminds me how I was thinking to myself earlier today, how I was thinking about all the times when I was, like, you know, shooting my shot with the ladies and, yeah, I got rejected and I was like that's fine. But then there was like I got to remember there was some girls that were into me.
Speaker 1:So I can't say like, oh well, is it me? I'm like no, no, no, like honestly, it's like everybody's not for everybody. So sometimes I'll be like, okay, I'll like wait a few months at least, you know, kind of feel out before I tell her. But then there was like only one time where I was talking to this girl it was like day one and I was like you know what, I'm feeling her so much. You know what, I'm just gonna shoot my shot right now. She wasn't interested, but that's fine, he, I'm not gonna force her to be interested. But the whole point is, uh, sometimes it's when they say it's not you as them. Sometimes they really do be like that they really do.
Speaker 1:Sometimes, they really do be them like they won't tell you why, but let's just say that all no, no funny thing is every, every time after I get rejected, that's when I get to know them even better, and it gets to a point to where you know what I'm kind of glad you rejected me you were right, it is you I'm like, I'm almost kind of glad you rejected me now, because I'm like you know what, in hindsight, we're not as compatible as I thought we were going to be.
Speaker 1:Like some of them like, yeah, I had to cut them off. But then there were like some examples where I'm like we can still be friends, like I'm still cool with you as a friend, but I realized, yeah, you know what, we're not that compatible oh my god, it really do.
Speaker 2:You know, yumiko makes me feel like she's one of those. We're not that compatible. Oh my God, it really do. You know, yumiko makes me feel like she's one of those people Like she'll lead you on, lead you on, and then she'll just be like it's not you, it's me, and you'd be like, yeah, you're right, it's you, you're compulsive. But I get that because I've kind of been, I've been rejected. I've been rejected a lot. I don't mind shooting my shot, I don't mind you know what?
Speaker 1:another thing I want to talk about how I know like probably a better term for it, but I like to consider it the handkerchief theory. To where, back in the day, you know how, when the ladies was wearing those poofy dress and whatnot, the gentlemen wearing those suits I'm not stay with me now. Now you know how it's that trope to where, oh, there's this girl that's giving you the flirty eyes from a distance, and then next thing, you know she has that handkerchief that she just drops on the ground like oopsies, and then the dude just walk over you like hey, I think you dropped this. And then that's his perfect excuse to like rezz her up and shit.
Speaker 1:Like I feel like that's the handkerchief theory, to where sometimes girls do shoot their shot. They just shoot their shot at the dude that they actually want to date. So it's like, like I said um in podcast before, if you ain't him, like don't be surprised if they reject you. Like, believe it or not, girls do be shooting their shots and girls can be just as thirsty as dudes. It's just that if they're attracted to you, they will let you know. Believe me, I have experience in a way, mj, listen, why is it?
Speaker 1:back in high school, it was like your senior year. Why is it that I had girls running around claiming me as their boyfriend, but we didn't even have a full conversation yet? I'm like, hold on, take me out to dinner first.
Speaker 2:What the fuck take me out to dinner first.
Speaker 1:Girls are weird man so I'm like, yeah, it be like that. Sometimes I did that though I did that.
Speaker 2:I did that too. It was a guy. I was like that's my boyfriend, and he was like wait what?
Speaker 2:yeah, I was just sitting there like uh I mean I have a conversation about this before you go running around telling other people that okay, now crazy story time, all right, um, crazy story time about something similar that you brought back a memory. There was this one dude he called himself breaking up with me. Now I'm really going to lie about myself, but a few months later I decided to gaslight him into believing that he didn't break up with me.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I was like what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:We never broke up.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, no, no, no. You know what are you talking about. We never broke up. Oh, no, no, no, no. You know what that reminds me of some? Uh, everybody hates chris type shit too. You know where? Um, that girl, tasha, I think that was her name. You know the girl that uh played by um page heard uh shout out there. By the way, uh, I'm looking good, as always. Anyways, yeah, chris was finally dating Tasha, right, and then he was like, yeah, you know what? I'm not into you anymore, we're done. And she was like, oh hell, nah, like we're done when I say we're done. And she spent that whole episode practically being a creepy stalker to her, showing up in his house everywhere he goes, pretending like, nah, you didn't break up with me. And then you know like, okay, fine, let's get back together. And like, okay, cool, now I'm breaking up with you.
Speaker 2:What? Because I'm done, we're done. When I say we're done, I never said we're over, okay, never said that, and so I don't know now. This is very toxic behavior. I don't do this anymore, obviously, but just saying it works. You just say at that time it worked, mj, I swear to to god, you worry me sometimes listen, I don't do that behavior anymore.
Speaker 2:I learned, I learned what's better. At that time I just I was mad, I was a little bit upset, you know, um, and I expressed myself by telling him that, uh, we were still together, good lord, and I expressed myself by telling him that we were still together, good lord.
Speaker 1:But I mean, you know, you know what you remind me of how I really should have have you Saw this anime called Baka N Test.
Speaker 2:Baka. No Test. Yeah, you know, the one with Bacchanotes, bacchanotes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, the one with the school children and the avatars and whatnot.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I didn't finish it. That wasn't what I finished.
Speaker 1:Okay, it doesn't matter. You didn't have to finish it, but you'll probably get this reference. You remind me of Shoko Yuji's girlfriend, the one with the stun gun, and shit.
Speaker 2:Why would you say that?
Speaker 1:I mean, am I wrong?
Speaker 2:I mean.
Speaker 1:Tell me I'm wrong?
Speaker 2:No, I'm not like that anymore.
Speaker 1:Someone said that to me before and that's why they also said you can't remind me like he would poke the dude's eyes out like oh so that way you not gonna be looking at other women I'm like man. Nobody give that man a break. Dog, put him on a like, not just any leash, like kind of leash with a really strong chain, and I'm like that way you don't be running off with other women I'm like bro, listen like.
Speaker 2:I need the reassurance that you're not going anywhere. Okay, I mean, that's all I need. I just need the reassurance that you're right here by my side, and uh, she was like oh, um.
Speaker 1:When she got the ticket to go to the um shit, the amusement park, she was like oh no, I'm not taking my boyfriend, I'm taking my husband. Then he got that cold chill uh, uh something. I feel a disturbance in the force something bad just happened maybe.
Speaker 2:I mean I feel, I feel seen. People also said I reminded them of you. Seen future diary.
Speaker 1:Yes, you're like oh you know, don't tell me the main girl in future diary.
Speaker 2:People was like, yeah, I think that's you. I was like I'm not that bad like that's the funny part.
Speaker 1:I plan on reviewing future diary for february because you know, uh, the whole crazy in love thing I'm trying to do. You know the kind of movies and TV shows where there's that one crazy chick that's so in love with whoever she's in love with, to where I'm like, hey, somebody come get her. Like she need to be locked up somewhere.
Speaker 2:Okay, I know that you mentioned the leash right. Like I look for Rial also on a leash too. I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1:I love uh. What was that girl's name from uh? Lawanda from um next friday, you know, day-day's um quote-unquote. Baby's mom and I was like yeah, I like this is restraining order. Right here. You told me you're supposed to be a thousand feet away from me. What you doing over here? You ain't going to quit me. I'm pregnant with your baby.
Speaker 2:You know it's yours. I feel bad for dating. I ain't that bad. What you trying to say, jb, I ain't that bad.
Speaker 1:No, I just know that. I know you're healing, but not fully healed.
Speaker 2:Listen, I don't think we'll ever be healed. Okay, you just gonna have to make some compromises. Okay, you just don't have to Make some compliments, whoever that is.
Speaker 1:But yeah, see, this is why I say that once you do a sequel Sequel with me, it's gonna be one of those things where it's just mostly Me just fucking around. I said what I had to say already. Um, at this point I'm just getting your point of view, uh, but anyways, uh, yumiko, uh, you want to know my favorite moment in the series so far yeah, my favorite moment with the tarot cards and ryota was gonna pick that one card that was marked, but he had that kind of sixth sense to where I'm like, uh-uh, this isn't what Yumiko wanted.
Speaker 2:No, no, I know what she wants.
Speaker 1:So that's why I was singing in the beginning no, no, I know what you want. And then you picked that random card and she was like so excited and shit and kind of crept up on him. It was like good boy, you know exactly what I want.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie to you See, that's why Yumiko could get it. She got that Dom energy man.
Speaker 1:Oh, before I forget, shout out to OG Sonny. He wanted to be on the review but things came up. But two things. First of all, if you're in the southern georgia area, check out otter creek auto body and paint. Where they paint up your car they can do some light work to um fix it up. Um don't ask for that heavy duty stuff like go to a mechanic shop for that. But you know, if um just like things like that, check them them out. But also between me and OG Sunny, we've been trying to get um his old lady to cosplay as Yumiko, because she got to look for it. All she needs is the uniform.
Speaker 2:Thank you Um we need to make that happen yeah. Uh, I agree.
Speaker 1:Do it. It, jojo, do it.
Speaker 2:I'm hands down for this. I'll be real.
Speaker 1:Oh lord.
Speaker 2:At this point, but I'll say my favorite scene. You know what?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, fuck all that. I got ads right now, mj, are you buying? No, no, no, no, no, no, fuck all that. I'm going to. I got to ask right now. Okay.
Speaker 2:MJ yeah.
Speaker 1:Are you bi?
Speaker 2:No, I'm not, it's the craziest thing.
Speaker 1:I'm like, because I feel like you kind of, every now and then we would talk about a certain girl. You'd be like I might be gay for her.
Speaker 2:I'm like whoa, what's going on? It's only anime women man, that's it.
Speaker 1:Oh, what did I tell you? Same thing with bad boy. They say, it's only in fiction. You know, we're like whatever.
Speaker 2:I got you. That's never been a path I've come down or want to go down. I like uh, but we're not gonna talk about what I like in men on this episode. We're not doing that again. But yeah, nah, it's just something about. There was something about this anime that just it made me wanna gamble. I'ma be honest with you like I don't know yeah, that's just the thing.
Speaker 1:Like this anime is the epitome of risk at all, like yumiko, like I was telling tanara how yumiko is the snake in the garden of eden, the devil, so to speak, where kirari is more like the god of the school to where it's more like a battle between them. And the funny thing is with that cherry card um gamble in the manga they never gambled yet. So I feel like that took away the tension of oh shit, it's only a matter of time before um she go up against the top dog. But now I just feel like it kind of feels watered down, kind of like with uh, that exhibition match between uh ryuko and sasuke and killer kilts, where they didn't really know what they're gonna do with the um series up until like they had that whole uh tournament art, so to speak. So it felt like it kind of took away the attention of her finally being able to go up against Kirari.
Speaker 1:But I still like the episode. I thought it was an interesting episode but in hindsight, knowing that they never even got to that point in the manga which, by the way, the manga is ongoing and they got a whole bunch of side stories too, to a point where, bro, we're trying to advocate for more seasons, anime seasons, of this show. Like, give us more because, honestly, this show is more, this story is more enjoyable seeing it animated, especially with all the way they I can't believe I'm saying this, but, studio Mappa, sometimes you do shit right. Like I'm still kind of mad at you for, back on titan, the way y'all kind of handled that one with the uh uh combination of cgi and all that shit, but with they did this right okay, my bad, I kind of lost connection for a split second, but my bad.
Speaker 2:But yeah, like you can just see the emotion on our face and shit like my favorite scene, the cut when they were all like yelling at her to cut the uh, freaking, um, what was that though? It was in the second season, I think, when it was cutting the wire oh yes, oh my god, that I didn't mean to say.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, like that, that scene, and every time I see it, for some odd reason, I want to risk everything. I don't even know what I'm risking at the point watching the episode, but I want to do it too.
Speaker 1:I don't know why, but that's the beauty of it. Do it too. I don't know why, but that's, but that's the beauty of it. That's why yumiko is considered the devil, because, while everybody wants something out of this school, whether it's money, power, women, men um uh, yumiko just want to gamble, like she's just in it, just for the hell of it. And that's what makes her dangerous. Because I'm like, oh shit, like we can't control her, because we can't, like, uh, coerce her, like we can't dangle this metaphorical carrot over her head and all. Like she just in it for the shits and giggles, like she don't care if she wins, she doesn't care if she loses, she just wants to gamble. And I'm like I don't know what the fuck to do with that. A chick like that, like she, kind of scares me a little bit, you know, especially whenever she gets mad and shit, like legitimately mad.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, whenever she's upset, that she's actually not having fun. That is the creepiest thing. I don't know why it was so creepy when she just got up from the table and was like, oh, this isn't even funny anymore. It was like what, what do you mean? It's not. And you think it's about the. You think it's about the. An estimated risk? It's not about an estimated risk for her. It's literally how far can you risk it all? It is literally a gambling addiction. But then I love the mystery that we still don't know if you watch just the anime and I haven't read the manga myself. So but behind uh um yumiko's sister, right?
Speaker 1:bro, see, no, no, that's the funny thing is this whole momo bami clan thing, to where I'm like okay, I thought it was like wild coincidence how, um, their last names were like so like bami to a degree, up until like the near end of season one. To where like, oh shit, they're kind of related, a bunch of these people. I'm like what the fuck? So like you got a whole bunch of cousins in here and I'm like, oh, my god, the implications.
Speaker 2:And then the cousins find out about everything and they create this thing to come to the school. And I'm like what in the? Because we still don't know what happened to Yubi. Like that's, I want to know Because obviously they all have a gambling problem. I don't know what she risked it all for, because she is in an institution at this point.
Speaker 1:You know what she risked it all for because she is in a institution at this point. You know what? Um, I would say that while some of them like say, for instance, midori, she, she just wants to die, like and, excuse me, sorry like she will feel better if she died during a gamble. So that's why she likes shit like Russian roulette, but while Yumiko just loves to gamble, I think most of them, for the most part, think about it. They come from rich families.
Speaker 1:They are set for life. At this point I honestly think that they gamble. Now, keep in mind that the academy it does have academics, but you don't really see that. It's like it's mainly about the gambling part, like after school shit. But for the most part, these rich kids, they're just bored. It's like they just gamble because it just makes them feel something yeah, madari's weird.
Speaker 2:Um, now, see, that's the level where I'm like, okay, see, that was completely. I was I agree with you, miko when she was just like this isn't you're no fun, like what's wrong with you because you were taking it too far and the whole. Okay, that scene. You know the scene I'm talking about, the gun scene yeah uh-uh, absolutely not that.
Speaker 2:I was like yep, nope, too far for me, completely clicked out like no, she could, never, I would. I would never play a game with her ever. Because why? But you're not wrong, there is a line. Like Yumiko has a line.
Speaker 2:If you take the rush and the thrill out of the game, it's no longer fun and they're all seeking that rush and that high and the thrill out of the game. It's no longer fun and they're all seeking that rush and that high and that thrill. But everyone was seeking it within reason, until Yubiko showed up. And I think that's why I liked it so much, because even when what's his name? Yamada I'm saying his names are wrong but even when he was up against her right and she's like he's trying his hardest not to risk it all, he's constantly calculating, and you're just like no, oh, it's Mayuta. Like Mayuta just doesn't want to freaking, risk it all. He's still trying to calculate and then push to the final edge of the straw and it's like I have to risk it all. And she pushed every character that way and I loved it. I love seeing that. I think Mayuta was like my second favorite episode watching him. That was my favorite.
Speaker 1:that was one of my second favorite episodes I gotcha.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know what that reminds me. How do you feel about that one episode with the tower of doors, where it was like that one girl to, where she was pretty much the same thing, except like she wanted to be so close to kirari. Where it's like oh, I know Kirari Way better than you but Ironically, the main reason why Kirari Is the way she is is like she Essentially the same thing. I told Tanara to where she's not interested in Basic bitches like If you, if you're not interesting, she's not interested in basic bitches like if you, if you're not interesting, she's not interested in you. So yumiko is interesting because no one can really figure her out. But uh, that one chick I forgot her name, see, this is why I say you're better than me, because at least you remember some of their names. Like, I just checked out on the names at that point.
Speaker 1:But um, essentially she was trying to figure out the tower of doors logically, while yumiko was just picking random um choices where it does? It just seemed like useless um routes and whatnot, but naturality, yumiko was just taking chances and she was just killing it. Meanwhile Kirari's pet, I guess, her assistant, whatever you want to call it she like kept picking the wrong door to a point to where she feels like, oh well, you know, fuck it all, I'm just going to jump off the tower, because if I can't be with her, then what's the point. And then Kirari um jumped off and then, luckily they were, um fell into the crash pad, but it was like, oh okay, um, you were kind of boring me up until now to where, okay, we can start over again as strangers, but in a way, let's just start over with our friendship, some shit like that whatever.
Speaker 2:Now that is the only relationship I believe was already solidified. I don't care, nobody say they didn't date like that, that was. I was like, yeah, they together. And she got jealous. She was like you thinking, oh no, no, no.
Speaker 1:Let me talk about how. Not only that, but also in kakigori twin, the sixth episode, uh side story with mary, you know, the blonde haired chick who apparently had some sort of arc before Yumiko showed up, uh, the governor. The governor had, uh, a pet too right. And why does it seem like, whenever someone like Mary or Yumiko shows up and impress, um, the top dog whether it was Hirari or the governor and the pet that's like right next to him, is like who the fuck you think you are bitch? I'm her favorite. Get the fuck out of here before I kill you.
Speaker 2:Yo, like I get you. You be making good points. Man Like Like, okay, all right, this, this is this is my, this is my question do you think, um, the parents are just as addicted to gambling as these kids? Because that's my theory. My theory is that even though their parents are, like you know, elected officials, they run the country, whatever. They have all this money, right? Like, specifically, uh, um, what's her name with the toy factory? Her parents own that giant. Uh, sumeragi own that toy factory, whatever, right? Do you think that these kids have a learned behavior from their family? Because that's my theory.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know about all of them, but I can say that a good chunk of them probably came from a household to where the gambling addiction probably was inherited, because, you know, people don't just do stuff like this out of nowhere, like kids don't just pop out of the womb thinking like I need to risk it all, where's a pair of dice I can roll? Like no, like it gotta come from somewhere. So it could be a matter of whether the parents were directly influencing their gambling addiction or there was like some sort of lack of care, you know like neglectfulness or some shit, to where, uh, these kids just get into some weird shit, um, behind closed doors and whatnot. Uh, it could be a number of factors, but I'm gonna put it past that. Yeah, that's a good theory.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's kind of what. While I was watching that particular episode I was like, okay, this girl has some learned behaviors, Like she sound like she repeating stuff that she done, heard, seen.
Speaker 1:I mean, I would say, realistically you probably won't see as much.
Speaker 2:But anime logic, yeah, probably and also that's the other thing too. Is that why yumiko doesn't really like her sister? Like, did she not risk at all in the final bit you know what I mean. Right, did she kind of renege because, like, obviously she knew her sister was gambling, right, but because it's not, it's. It's a weird thing. Whenever her sister's kind of mentioned or brought up, she gets this look on her face that it's like I don't want to talk about that, we don't talk about her. Well, I'm trying to figure it out, like what. And then too, like I'm trying to figure out because I know there's a lot more familiar connections that we know about, even from the uh, mobami and jabami clan, like I feel like there's a lot more connections and I'm gonna just start reading the manga. I know, I'm gonna just start reading it at this point, but I kind of gotta find out. So, what did you think about the? Oh god, what scene was that? Remember the girl uh who was a pet to that dude and they had to play that card game.
Speaker 1:That was one of my favorite episodes ah, yeah, I like that one too cause he deserved everything he got nah, listen, like, okay, we were talking about Kakiguru Twin, where they were like kind of like doing the dating game in a sense. Where was it the one where, okay, uh, if you win, you can either like take them out on a date or, uh, you can have like a quote-unquote sleepover with them and then they'll let this chubby dude that was like looking real sus. I'm like, hey bro, look, look, look, listen, I know you got rejected by a bunch of girls and I know you're kind of desperate, but listen, your behavior right now is scaring the hoes. You can calm down.
Speaker 2:JPEG mafia. Shout out sorry, latest album called scaring the hoes, I had to say it that and that actual game is actually pretty interesting, honestly I. But okay, to be honest with you, kakeguri twin wasn't my favorite no, I don't blame you.
Speaker 1:Like, honestly, I completely forgot that it was a thing until I was getting for the review. I was, oh shit, that's right, they did have like a side story thing. All right, let me see how long it is. Wait six episodes? Okay, no, I can do that. And then I'm like wait, this is just basically mary's uh prequel story, before yumiko showed up and busted her shit up and she was like the main character for like six episodes. Is this what you're telling me? Like, did I really need this? Like I don't know. I guess it's like um something that tied you over, since, like you know, oh well, you know, um, if y'all are still interested in kakaruri, like we'll give you like six more episodes, but um other than that but they were so lackluster and honestly I didn't feel and that's that's what I was talking about there was no, everyone was a calculated risk.
Speaker 2:There was such a calculation to the risk. So when yumiko, it kind of makes like the prequel, makes the sequel even better because you see that everyone was trying to calculate an estimated amount of risk right, and you see how boring it was, like I think that's actually what it was meant to do, like I don't think it was on purpose, but theoretically I think those six episodes show you what it's like to just estimate your risk, to calculate your risk. It takes the fun out of it a little bit, it takes the thrill away, like I'm here to get high, bro, I'm not here, I'm not here for a long time, I'm here for a good time and I'm pretty sure I can't get off on this, bro, I couldn't, I could not. I was like, wow, I was really looking for this rush and this feeling and this thrill and it was just like mary, here we go again. I couldn't, I could not. And then where did Mary even get off on? Thinking she was the shit? Just from these six episodes.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry. I mean, yeah, like honestly, mary's like kind of mid for me, so like I keep forgetting that she's a thing. Honestly, Like I'm thinking, okay, I remember Yumiko, I remember Gryota. I remember uh Kiarri. I remember honestly, like I'm thinking, okay, I remember yumiko, I remember griota, I remember uh kiyari. I remember like the idol chick, uh, I remember some folks, but I'm like mary kind of see, like I said, like um, she essentially um got beaten by yumiko in the first episode of season one and I'm like she's just been kind of a scrub ever since, like, uh, how, oh well, oh well, you're not in the, at least you're not in the bottom 100 where the pets are.
Speaker 1:But since you lost, well, the rest of us have to be. That's the funny thing At this school you have to be mean towards the people that's beneath you. I'm like it's literally a school rule to where. I'm like hey, hey, man, what did I tell you about? You're supposed to bully that kid. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry for not being meaner excuse me did you push him down the stairs today? No, I forgot.
Speaker 1:Let me just trip him real quick let me squirt lemon juice in his eye.
Speaker 3:Real quick is that good?
Speaker 1:are we cool now after school?

But overall, this anime I'll say this this anime injected life into 2019. Yeah, yeah, it definitely did that for me 2017. Was it 2017? Yeah, dang, was I re-watching it that much?
Speaker 1:That is sad, yeah 2017 was the first season, 2018 was the second season, 2018 was the second season, and then Kakiguri Twin was 2022.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay. I was re-watching the heck out of this anime, so um whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I see why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. Whatever came out in 2019, um Kakiguri was still best at that time 2019 was a weird year.
Speaker 1:Honestly. It feels like a ghastly year to where. I'm like what did happen in 2019?
Speaker 1:I mean to be fair, you know, leading up to all that going on to where it just felt like 2019, kind of feel like what happened that year again? Like not a whole lot, I don't think, but you know, we were kind of Talking about it and then it just came to Full effect for most of the next Year. But then again there was some good things that happened with 2019, maybe. You know, I gotta look this up, I gotta know, I gotta know what that happened in 2019, maybe you know.
Speaker 2:I gotta look this up, I gotta know, I gotta know what. Okay, okay. So we got a new season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that year. Devilman's Crybaby Okay, we got Dr Stone Okay, okay, okay, oh.
Speaker 1:Demon Slayer okay, we got Dr Stone, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Demon Slayer, apparently yeah so we did get some good stuff but for some reason I don't know what Kakegurui was doing to me. It was shout out to Kakegurui for making 2019 a great year.
Speaker 1:It became that comfort Show for you to wear. Thank you, and.
Speaker 2:I also.
Speaker 1:Honestly. Honestly I know it's like unrelated, but when it comes to comfort shows, you know what it was for me during that time. What Broken? Nine, nine. Good good that was a good show. Honestly, that's a great show oh my god, I just kept re-watching the season. I was like man, I just listen. It's one of those shows where, by the time the final season rolled in, I'm like, I'm not ready for this, like I'm not ready for it oh man, you hit the nail on the head with that.
Speaker 2:The jokes in that show I could die laughing.
Speaker 1:Everyone was funny and a reunion probably not gonna hit as good because, you know um, we're not gonna have captain hole anymore.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I don't. I'm good, I don't think I could do it I'm two points.
Speaker 1:Well, I might re-watch it again, but by the time it gets to the final season I'm like, oh man, because, see, the last season was so rent-free in my head. I'm like, okay, I already know what happened. The final season, like let me just pretend they never ended, I just restarted it's so funny that you brought up that, because I literally just started rewatching listen. I said mj listen broken nine, nine didn't finish.
Speaker 2:I'm in denial you know, willing to risk it all, how much you want to bet.
Speaker 1:There's going to be a new season coming out, y'all. Nah, they just come back with new seasons.
Speaker 2:Okay, let's make that bet. Let's make that bet how much you want to put?
Speaker 1:Nah, nah, I'm joking.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:I am kind of betting on new season of Cockakaguri, though I'll put money on that okay, I feel like it does deserve new seasons you know what I bet you a penny oh, oh. You know what that reminds me? When I did a review on trading places where, um, the whole point of that's where they made those dudes trade logs for a dollar. I'm like one dollar.
Speaker 2:One dollar.
Speaker 1:Alright, If that's how they want it, no problem. Cock that shotgun. I'm like hey man, you can't be blasting people kneecaps in because you're pissed at them. You get 20 years for that.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's so funny. You said that I have a friend who's always like you want me to bust them in their kneecaps. I'm like, no, what is your obsession with kneecaps? Oh my god. But I think that's all I really have to say about the show. It definitely influenced me to start playing poker. I'm pretty good.
Speaker 1:Great poker.
Speaker 2:I see what you did there.
Speaker 1:No, I mean, I thought you said you wanted to risk it all.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, show me something. If Yumiko is playing, if you find Yumiko Jibami and she's playing, at that point I don't have a choice.
Speaker 1:I guess we stripping we'll find a Yumiko Jabami cosplayer, but I don't know if Sunny's wife would be down.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't do that to Sunny's wife unless that was who she was down for, but consent is always welcome, all right.
